Dr. John Gerstner on John 3:16 | Part 2

from The Parrhesians Hosted by The Parrhesians: Nathanael Devlin, Peter Chace, Kyle Bennett

This is part two of a three-part series Dr. John Gerstner, long-time professor at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, gave at Beverly Heights Presbyterian Church in 1984 on the riches of John 3:16. In this episode, Dr. Gerstner discusses the need for apologetics, the insult that is evangelism, the condemnation that can come through missions, and how the road to hell is paved with pluralism, gentility, and tolerance. Dr. Gerstner reminds us that we were there when the Son was crucified. Except He wasn’t our Lord then. He was our enemy. And we weren’t over on the sidelines crying. We were driving the nails, slaughtering Him, committing the crime. And “God had no obligation to you or to me to present the gospel. We were fit for damnation. Nevertheless, He sent His one and only Son to perish for us.” Welcome to another episode of The Parrhesian Podcast! https://theparrhesians.com/
